The two holes visible on the front of the t-shirt are therefore also present on the back. We don’t always notice them, because our gaze naturally stops on what is directly in front of our eyes.
This is where the enigma gets really interesting… and that the answer shifts.
The final (and correct) answerLet’s go back to the final calculation:
1 head hole
2 arm holes
1 hole at the bottom
2 visible holes on the front
2 matching holes on the back
Total: 8 holes
Yes, 8. An answer that seems exaggerated at first, but which becomes obvious once the explanation is put in black and white.
Why this puzzle works so well
This challenge is extremely effective, because it is not based on mathematics or on any particular knowledge. It simply highlights the way we perceive objects. We see what we think we need to see, not always what’s actually there.
